Ruche | intro to spring catalog

Ruche’s Spring 2010 lookbook launched yesterday, so I can share some of my favorite images from this shoot. I’m in love with the color palette in so many of their Spring items! On Ruche’s blog, Mai wrote a little bit about our adventures on creating this studio shoot. We made each back drop by hand, and Mai and her crew spent many hours making those awesome paper flowers for the first backdrop. We all chipped in to do the huge wall of book pages and flower wallpaper…a lot of work but so much fun as well! Hair and make-up was done by the amazing Nyrie, who also does wedding day hair and make-up as well.

Holly + Ed | wedding

The perfect shade of red lipstick. check. hot English accents. check. a gorgeous Villa reminiscent of Italy. check. I love Holly + Ed! Holly has the most infectious smile and Ed was ecstatic the whole day! They had the perfect wedding at one of my all time favorite venues, Villa Del Sol D’Oro in Sierra Madre. The weather started out gloomy and overcast, but right before the ceremony the sun came out and shone for the rest of the celebration. Holly’s gorgeous dress was custom designed by Jose Flores . Holly’s make-up and hair was done by the super talented team of Devon Duff and Robin Lamph!

Marika + Jamie | engagement

Marika + Jamie have such an amazing relationship! They love the outdoors and anything to do with hiking, camping and exploring, so it was only natural that we chose a nature preserve for their engagement session. Isaac and I can’t wait for their wedding next month!

Bridal Fashion | vintage + rustic

There will be several of these posts I think, since I have so many gorgeous photos to share! This shoot was to showcase a few new designs from Amy Jo Tatum Bridal. What is so awesome about her work, is that she tries to use eco-friendly fabrics to construct her dresses. One of my favorites was made using a fine organic muslin - so simple, elegant, and summery. We’ll call this post part 1…
